When it comes to hail damage, act like an adjuster

Less is more for insurance companies when it comes to covering commercial roofs damaged by hail or storms. The less money they can negotiate with property managers to fix commercial roofs, the more money they can keep. If one of the buildings you manage was caught in one of the increasingly extreme hailstorms the state has seen over the last few years, it’s important to prepare for your visit with the insurance company’s adjuster. Since all policies state that burden of proof of a loss lies with the policyholder, not the insurance company, you’ll want to prepare comprehensive documentation to ensure your proof of damage is strong.
